'84, '96, '03 Drafts

Re: '84, '96, '03 Drafts
2003 is very deep, plus those players still have time to pan out and become great players or solid contributors...
how about assembling a team from those drafts?
2003
PG Kirk Hinrich/TJ Ford/barbosa
SG Dwyane Wade/ Mickael Pietrus?
SF Lebron James/Carmelo Anthony/Josh Howard
PF Chris Bosh/ Nick Collison
C Chris Kaman/Darko Milicic
1996
PG Allen Iverson/Steve Nash/Stephon Marbury
SG Kobe Bryant/Ray Allen
SF Peja Stojakovic/ antoine walker
PF Jermaine O'neal/ Shareef abdur-rahim
C Marcus Camby/ Zadrunas Illgauskas
1984
PG John Stockton/Alvin Roberston
SG Michael Jordan
SF Otis Thorpe?
PF Charles Barkley
C Hakeem Olajuwon/Kevin Willis

Re: '84, '96, '03 Drafts

thanks kumquat and KO King for filling in those players.
i started watching basketball in the early '90s when the Spurs Drafted a rookie named David Robinson, so i am not familiar with vern fleming and tony campbell.
i do know jerome kersey was good in portland...even participated in a dunk contest if i recall! lol

Diaw--One year wonder, OVERPAID-nobody will touch his contract, role player
Barbosa--Allen Iverson light, light
T.J. Ford--no big thing
Hinrich--I'm the biggest Bulls homer and he's above average for his time and that's it
Pavlovic? LOL, If he's half the player Kersey was, he'll be good.
So...LeBron, Wade and Carmelo are to be proven.
So far (H)Akeem has had a better career than all of those guys combined so...

They've played 4 years in the league and I said "Look at these players and where they are going" so you can't make the success point til theyre at the end of their careers.

Re: '84, '96, '03 Drafts
'84 draft produced 2 top 10 players of all time...one being the GOAT.
the '96 draft is obviously the deepest of the three.
the '03 draft has the most potential.
